Irritant contact dermatitis is caused by the contact with any substance that hurts the skin. On an extreme side think of getting burnt by any acid or alkali. That is irritation due to contact. But even substances such as water may cause irritant contact dermatitis if the contact remains for a long time. Allergic contact dermatitis is caused when you are allergic to any substance. The allergy need not show immediately. It can show even after using the same product for years. For example, you love using a product and are using it for years with great satisfaction.
